With graduation just around the corner, many are eagerly waiting to walk across that stage. There are others who are just as eager, but who lack the means to purchase their own graduation caps and gowns. There are some soon to graduate seniors at my wife's school who will not be able to walk across the stage because they were unable to buy caps and gowns because they live in extreme poverty, and there isn't enough money in the school budget to buy for them.

Are any of you in the Charlotte area willing to loan your BLACK caps and gowns for some of these young people? We need four more to ensure all these seniors are allowed to walk across the graduation stage. These young men are 5'8", 5'9",5'10", and 6'3" (also needs a big cap for his large head). If you can, please send me a PM.

We would really appreciate your generosity to ensure that these guys can walk with their peers. For some of them, they will be the first members of their family to do so.

Thank you for reading, and hopefully digging out your BLACK caps and gowns!

It is crazy that these students cannot walk across the stage. They earned that right. Depriving them of this because of financial circumstances that are not their fault is just wrong.

Very nice of you to try to help these guys out. Hope you get enough gowns.

cpcc didn't give me one when I got my high school diploma. In fact, they mailed my diploma to me. I have no idea what happened to my NCSU one (red of course). All I have is the tassle.

Good luck, that is a great thing you are doing.

      The Carolina Panthers should go back to Bryce Young

      By Luciu5 · Posted

      I think these reps Bryce is getting in garbage time are supposed to be somethign of a PROVE IT moment for him, except he keeps proving he is incapable of moving the ball. Bryce has shown repeatedly that with him under center, this team simply cannot score points at all. Andy can. 2 of the last 4 losses were winnable games with Andy in. I cannot remember the last time we had a winnable game with Bryce on the field.

      Trade everyone and fully rebuild..

      I'm not saying Chubba want to resign here. To be honest I don't know why anyone would ever come to Carolina unless it was for a boat load of money and that person had no interest in winning. As for keeping Hubbard, I don't see a problems with it if the deal is reasonable pricewise. We have a 2nd round back coming off an ACL tear. We have no ide how he is going to play upon his return. These days you pretty much have to have 2 backs to ease the RB workload. The days of the 25-30 carry per game are long gone. Brooks contract is pretty cheap. If Hubbard came back around 4-5 million for 3 seasons that wouldn't break us.  And, if you did trade him at the deadline, what are you expecting in return? Most likely a 4th. Is that really going yo move the needle? Nope.  If a player want to be moved this season and you can get a good return, that's one thing. But the idea of trading "all expiring contracts today" is unreasonable. We don't have anyone on this roster who is going to fetch more than a 3rd/4th round pick. I don't see a player on our roster who is going to put another team over the hump. Furthermore, it's not like we have a FO with a good track record nailing their draft picks. If they did we wouldn't be in the current predicament.
